While some Central Valley breweries come about from new beginnings and world exploration, others are born from an effort to tie the past with the present. Speaking of his beer travels Bynum says, “We wanted to share the passion of what we learned with the community.” That passion has turned into an inviting space in Bakersfield with indoor and outdoor seating, a full-service restaurant, and a lineup of craft beers that are ultimately inspired by his travels. It was a venture that led to opening the brewery with partners, Tom Maxwell and Derrick Miller. We want to be in Bakersfield and we want to build the craft beer culture here,” he says.Īfter a trip to Belgium and Germany that left him questioning everything he previously knew about beer, he came home and immediately started homebrewing. Now the brewery packs in fans for special bottle releases, supports local food trucks and thanks to some new outdoor upgrades, serves as a wedding venue during the cooler months in the valley.įor Don Bynum, CEO of Temblor Brewing Company, Bakersfield was the right place to share his love for beer.
